How Deep?

Deepfried.tv went deep. Real deep.

Happy Birthday Naish.

Be afraid. He's back.

Bill loves the smell of fresh print in the morning.

Another great 'on-forecast' competition format in the UK. This time for Freestyle.

Severne officially announced their signing of Karin Jaggi today. Isn't that amazing that she's got 27 world titles? How many sportspeople could say that?

Apparently Bjorn Dunkerbeck is the most successful sportsperson ever in terms of world titles. He has won 35... so far...and like Jaggi also sails for Switzerland and Severne sails.

WIND magazine are like a dog with a bone with the PWA right now. First there was the Defi Wind date clash with the PWA Korea World Cup, and now they're outraged that Albeau (French language) can't get into the Cabo Verde event.

It's tough, but a lot of riders, including some who did well at Ponta Preta last season, can't even get into this 32-man limited entry event. I guess that proves how high the standard is.

Why would they let Albeau in? Has he ever been a top wave rider? There are so many others like Juban & Koster who maybe should be in there and are not. Weird to consider it a PWA event when not all tour goers can have a go. Is the fact Albeau is french pertinent in any way?

Fish - thanks for your comments. I agree - let the young guys have a crack. It seems though that WIND do feel a little alienated by the PWA but for what reason I'm not sure. The article at http://www.windmag.com/News/2201-non-retenu-par-la-pwa-pour-la-coupe-du-monde-du-cap-vert-quel-avenir-pour-camille-juban.html seems to include a comment about that.
